Honestly it's why I show it off to my friends.... good portion of my friend like watching more than playing (I blame Let's Plays) and I show the entire story to them and let them make some choices... watching their reaction is the closest you can get.
i got really sad when I completed this game. And it wasn't just the ending or the music. It was the fact that I would never play Persona 4 for the first time again.
jaidon82 exactly what I'm feeling right now... Playing P3 to get caught up to the rest of the fanhood. Then gonna New Game Plus the shit out of P4 and appreciate it more, hopefully. Cause it'll also be a jump from P3 in gameplay and character development. Not taking away from P3 though. Gonna let myself enjoy it :)
+Jaidon White I remember that February month when I bought this game. Once it was done downloading off PSN, that intro captivated me. It captivated me so much that I stopped talking to my friend on my phone. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. After the intro ended, I knew I was in for a good time. I do not regret the 60+ hrs of gameplay on this game.
@@bernardoheusi6146 i've been sort of bullied for 6 years, but right now i have my friends for life for around 10 years and quite famous in my workplace. Hang in there my friend it's just only a phase
I loved my high school years. I peak during my Junior year but Senior Year was great. I admit that I was a bully and quite arrogant. I played the PS2 version in college right before I got kicked out but I finished the Vita version a few years later and made me remember my high school memories. Good times.
I see people reminiscing about feeling empty and not being able to experience this for the first time ever again. The song knows this and tells you that youre never going to be alone. So cheer up guys, we may not experience it ever again for the first time. But we experienced it nonetheless, and loved it. Just finished the game for the first time yesterday, and this was what I had to say.
When I played the Original i can't stop crying but after finished Persona 4 Golden all that crying in turns to a feeling of happyness that it can't be mension. Golden give that last piece that all of us wanted.
That's actually a pretty smart move on their part. They ingratiate that part of the song to us with A Corner of Memories, letting us listen to the leitmotif when we first booted up the game (first impression), then each time we came back to load our save (which would be A LOT of times, I remember clocking in at 200+ hours in my first playthrough alone). Then we hopefully get our sweet ending, start getting emotional during the credits, probably crying like a bitch, when suddenly... 03:40 Boom.
More than a year ago now, I left the town I grew up in to work as a teacher in a low-income area. I worked with an incredible and diverse group of people, and became so close to one woman that it became very hard to leave. But in my final few days in the town, I remembered this song and let it comfort me. I knew, just like Yu does, that the effort I put in and the bonds I formed would never leave and have made me a better person. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Persona changes lives.
It's funny people may think it's just this weird series about creating demons and shit but I actuality it's just about learning to make friends with people and finding bonds that will never break
@@JellyJman I haven't watched it simply because it hasn't been dubbed and Teddie and Rise's japanese voices are annoying to me but, it doesn't seem too bad.
I felt so empty when I finished this beautiful game. I didn't have any friends, so this game really made me feel like someone else, I grew so close to everyone of the characters, we did so much together, we laughed, we solved the mistery and we defeated a God... But in the end I had to say goodbye to everyone, it was truly sad, but in the end this game helped me so much. It was an experience that can never be recreated.
I feel the same. Everyone did have sort of a realness to them. Oddly, despite living hundreds of miles from Japan, even the most unfamiliar situations and interactions in Inaba felt relatable (as unrealistic as they could be at times). I feel like I've gained a great deal of confidence playing this game. It's truly an experience can never be recreated. Well said!
That ending made you cry if you were not already crying from the train scene with everyone saying goodbye and to never forget. One of the most non forgettable ending ever, this game will always have a special part in my heart
solidkratos963 I think what really makes it so sad yet so perfect is that the game really immerses the idea that you the player are the main protagonist, so when you stop playing the game, your not going to see those friends any more, so naturally the main protagonist moves away. Really made me sad, and makes the memories of said game feel great.
When I remember the game I don't remember a game I remember when I went to high school with Yoske Chie Kanji Rise and the others and fought monsters like a badass...
I don't care if this game is overrated or that it was milked for several years, this game made me feel like I wasn't alone during a time a really needed it to. It will always hold a special place in my heart
I never cry, I haven't cried in probably a decade, but my best friend, he used to cry at the end of every game/movie/anime he really liked and didn't hide it, so I started being secretly jealous because I never had such a special moment in any of these mediums that made me cry even if I wanted, but man, this game made me do it the whole end credits sequence without stopping, it felt so refreshing, it was a feeling I forgot and I imediatly called sobbing to tell him how great this game was!
It has been about a year and a half since I completed this game. Since then, I have played other Persona games and come to really enjoy the series. I even plan to get into Shin Megami Tensei as a whole soon. Recently, a friend of mine beat Persona 5(which I did around when i beat P4), and I told him he should get Persona 4. He did, and I sat right next to him for the entire playthrough, and when the credits were rolling, I was sad that the story ended again, but also incredibly happy that my best friend was also able to have the same experience I had. It gave me a chance to reflect on my playthrough on Persona 4 Golden(he was playing PS2 version), and although it was interesting to see things such as version differences, watching him do the social links, combat, and dungeons really made me appreciate how great of a game it really is, and the fact that I was able to share this wonderful game with him increased my enjoyment of the game as well. I have beat Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5, and i'm currently working on Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I am soon getting Persona Q and Persona Q2, as well as Persona 3 FES, Persona 1(PSP version) Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and I just can't wait to finally learn what happens after Persona 4, and see The Answer in Persona 3 FES, and try the original(and actually beat it at some point). Persona is a series that truly fulfills you, a series that makes you feel real emotion, and a series that has changed the lives of many. Persona is the one thing I like that, no matter what other thing I'm currently enjoying, is always in the back of my mind. It is an unforgettable experience, one that changes your outlook on life, and teaches you an important lesson. Persona 3 teaches you to live your life to the fullest, to not deny the inevitable, and that a relationship is always worth it, no matter how much it will hurt when it ends. Persona 4 teaches you to always seek the truth, no matter how sweet of a lie there may be. Persona 5 teaches you to think for yourself and fight for what you believe in, that a higher power isn't always correct or just, and that you have a right to rebel when something truly unjust is taking place. Persona 2 teaches you to accept change, and that no matter how tough things get when you're older, you can persevere, and you have people to support you, and it also teaches you to use the past as a guide for the future, and not to deny it or be caught up on it, to move on and keep going. Each Persona game is a profound experience, and you will always take something away from them. I really wish i hadn't written this in the comments of a music video from 7 and a half years ago, but hearing the credits song just reminded me of how much I've grown to love the series and the emotions it stirs up when I think about my experiences with each one. Every time I hear Igor say "You were truly a remarkable guest", no matter which game it's in, I feel as though I have completed a long journey, one with many hardships, paths, and bonds, and I have reached that journey's end. So, to the person reading this, whether you are just listening to the video for the song, a casual Persona fan, or a grizzled Shin Megami Tensei veteran, just go and play Persona, any game, or think about a past journey with it. I believe I have learned lessons that I will remember my entire life from theses games, and I believe that every person can learn something from these games. I just can't think of a good way to express my thoughts any longer without repeating myself, so just remember this: Cherish your experience with this series, take its messages and themes to heart, and love your time with these experiences that are beyond gaming or storytelling. I can't believe I just wrote this at 1:00 am in the UA-cam comments section, it's kind of disappointing. I didn't plan this, I just said what i thought.
This is an incredible and inspiring comment, I have never played a persona game but I've always been interested, however without a PlayStation console and limited budget it felt like getting into this series was impossible for me. However, since Persona 4 the Animation exists I watched and finished it this week. But now i kinda regret it because i wish i had played the game. Probably/ Eventually i will get to play a persona game and really feel apart of the fan base.
I had issues with Persona 3 and 5. It felt like every character had a great relationship with the mc, but not with each other. Persona 4’s Investigation Team feels like a real group of friends, cracking jokes with each other and being open about their feelings. That’s what elevates this game to being my favorite in the series.
Haven't played P4 so can't say, but in P5 I would say Mona had a good relationship with other characters. But now that I think about it, don't really remember anyone else really.
Nah Junpei and yukari have a lot of rivalry, mitsuru Shinjiro and akihiko have a lot of history, ken has his grudges against shinjiro, akihiko wants to help ken out and keep him motivated after October, Aigis has a strong devotion to protag and gets in lots of trouble with yukari and others with her misunderstandings about humans. It’s really just the p5 cast, does yusuke even talk to Haru once? Seriously hard to remember a single one-on-one interaction between the Phantom Thieves outside of the founding members.
5:13 This part always makes me cry. The happier melody contrasts with the slow, quieter, and melodic harmony underneath. It reminds me of the song's theme of friendship ending and moving away from your friends at the end of Persona. You're happy about the fun times you had, but there's always that sad undertone. That happiness is the melody, while the harmony is that lurking sadness.
Same here, and I find Yu to be a more engaging and interesting protagonist than Minato/Makoto. I just adore Yu's personality in the Animation and the spin-off games.
naruto0187 saying that Yu is a more interesting protagonist than Minato is like saying that watching ice melt is more interesting than watching paint dry.
Man. Whenever I listen to this I thing back to that cold night in March, at 3 in the morning. I stayed up all night to finish Persona 4, and when I heard these credits I looked back on an incredible journey. This game is perfection.
As much as I love it, the 3 hour opening was a pain and in my opinion, most of this game was just slightly worse than P3, although both are still amazing games.
It felt a lot less grindy than p3, and the characters were less generic. P4 had a lot more interesting characters, not just "waifu with a hidden past" or "smart rich waifu". The characters were dynamic and more interesting. Both fantastic games :)
This is why I love persona These aren't characters They're people who I'll never forget and I'm happy persona 4 was my first game I just wish I could play it for the first time again
Just beat the game with true ending. So happy it got a PC port, otherwise I would have never played it. 98 hours well spent. What a bittersweet ending.
Rafif The Second bro i totally feel you, its so hard to go back and get the ending when you just finished. ( I type this knowing you may have finished it already..)
I've heard people complain that this game is too happy and cheerful. While I do find the game very uplifting, especially compared to the other Persona games, I don't see how that is a bad thing. I personally think it is rather refreshing.
Especially since when you are playing sleuth with your buds throughout this game, the message about the power of bonds and being true to yourself doesn't ring hollow.
People like to focus on negative things. Some believe that in order for a story or message to be good it must be dark, sad or serious. Which is not true
I wouldnt be crying... I would be singing along with the song! (ps yes i memorized part of the song... plz dont judge!) (pps its a good song, dont you think so, whats-ur-face?...)
I have been watching this for eight years now and I just noticed that Yosuke is holding a trial of the dragon two DVD case with a broken DVD falling out.
The way Meguro uses the same notes of the credits songs throughout the game's soundtrack is what makes you so emotional in the credits. You've been hearing the same melody through the hole game and when the credits plays, it gives you a sense of familiarity to the song even though you're listening it for the first time, while making you remember everything you've been through in the last 60 hours
Christ, I don't think a single game has made me tear up at tracks more than P4, every time I return to Inaba and hear "Heartbeat, Heartbreak" I tear up, every time I hear "I'll Face Myself" I tear up. But this fucking song, is in an emotional league of it's own, not only is it then end of an adventure, it's the end of your first experience with the game, and the first play through of a game is a magical thing in of itself, as it's something you genuinely can never have again, once you've played it, you can't get the same feeling as the first time you experienced it again, which is the sad part of this song at least the first time you hear it. But the fact you had a game engage you and make you so invested and interested and gave you the experience you did, thats what's so great. Thus this song is not just a sad song, but also, a triumphant one, one that makes you reflect on the amazing game that you just played. Or you can just play NG+ for the rest of your life, that's always an option.
I don’t know why, but P4 makes me cry the hardest out of the 3 big Persona games. Like, not 3, but 4. I guess it’s because you see your friends chasing after you, crying and saying we’ll always be friends! Ugh, it just tugs at my heart strings.
Because P4 ending is actually relatable and can be happening IRL, unlike P3 where the protagonist is basically a messiah which is unlikely to happen on our everyday life. I haven't played p5r so I don't have anything to say about it
@@homepotatoe4401 I guess so. I mean, I never moved to another place, lol. Makoto dying and seeing Aigis become more human, shedding a tear for you hits hard. Not to mention Kimi No Kioku is a beautiful fucking song. P5R’s ending IS good, but it doesn’t hit hard compared to the vanilla ending. And even then, Vanilla P5’s ending isn’t TOO heartbreaking. Just sad to finish the game lol.
Finsihed this game today . I can see why people hold this game in high regards. It's definitely my favourite persona game and up there as one of my favourite games ever , the characters and music is peak gaming
at a time when i was struggling with my mother and fathers death at the age of 20, this game was a shining light into being able to appreciate life again, thank you atlus
I beat P4G for the first time 3 days ago.. And 8 days before that I had beaten P3fes for the first time.. The accumulated feels.. Wh-why did so much spill out..??! I was teary saying goodbye to my social links.. Then BAM this song shoves itself up in my ears Persona 5 have mercy
And that's your opinion. I personally loved it, but I know not everyone will agree with me. But if you want fanservice out the ass, try the Senran Kagura series. Jeez... Jiggling boobs everywhere.
Shiverwar LOL I might look into it. I can deal with fanservice it can be a good thing. You want to talk about terrible things though, Just look at Sword Art Online.
I never said Senran Kagura was terrible. I happen to quite like it. ...but yeah, SAO bored me pretty damn quickly. Kinda difficult for ANY show to do that. Well, unless you're a reality show.
I know nobody cares but I just wanted to say that this song makes me cry every single time I listen to it. Lately I'v been going through crippling depression, and this game is the Last one I played before it got severily worse. My father does not care for me and does not believe me when I ask for help, claiming that all I need is going outside and nothing else. Even if I suffer from anxiety, rage attacks and mood swings. All' I'd like to do is to seek help, but it's completely negated and I'm desperate. My cognitive skills are deteriorating and my will to live is long gone. So thank you Atlus, for making one of the very few things that make me feel something in existence
@@santinoramirez7879 Unfortunately it doesn't work like That in my country. As long as you are a minor (18 in my country) you require the consent of both parents. Yesterday I tried so hard to convince my father, telling him how bad I feel and I couldn't understand why, but he called me immature and said all I wanted was a doctor and that no therapist could solve my problem because I had to do It on my Own. He even went as far as to claim that it Is normal at my age to Feel like this and in the future these problems will look insignificant. Yes, Hitting your Head against the wall and having suicidal thoughts constantly is normal according to him. I'm just unlucky I was born in such a conservative family
i know this might sound cheesy but genuinely just play persona 4 golden or if you have played it in the past play it again. I am not kidding when i tell you this game is genuinely like a book better. You feel like you yourself is the protagonist. I get bullied at school and when i play persona 4 golden i forget who i am and what im going through right now and become this absolute chad whos got a whole group of friends with him who enjoy life to the fullest. Im telling u play this game u really do forget your surroundings due to the immersion
@@santinoramirez7879It's Alright man, turned 17 recently and I'm feeling mt actual best. I remember writing a comment including the word su1c1de, but given its absence I'd say it got deleted (nice freedom of speech really). Anyway, now it's almost a thing of the past. I don't really know what happened but after the school trip I had a complete burn out, which then lead to a sudden improvement in my mood. So I took that opportunity immediately and now I'm beginning to live a decent life, started learning new languages and exercising everyday. Although I still suffer from time to time, I'm positive there is going to be a complete recovery. Fuck neglectful parents, they do not deserve to have kids
damn straight! but yah no what? I just beat the game yesterday again for the second time and guess what? it feels the fckng same the first time I beat it... feels like the game beat me more
January 4th, 2020. I beat probably what will be my favorite game of all time. My brother was letting me borrow his PS2 and I had until that day to beat it. I had spent countless sleepless nights over the past days to finally beat this game before the 4th. When the credits finally rolled, I felt so complete and empty at the same time. It was beautiful. This isn't just a game, it's an experience.
Also, when you own a PC, buy Persona 4 Golden and re-experience the moment with additional storyline, new Personas, new music by Shoji Meguro, a new character, and new areas to explore!
I think I might be crying like a baby when I have beaten the game soon, because as of right now I cannot accept the fact that this game will come to an end :(
And after so long...I have finally beaten the game for the first time. Can't explain the feels for this amazing game. Persona 4 just needs to never go away and stay forever.
I love this game, just like Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World, it inspired and changed me. Yosuke's quote on nothing changing if we blamed others and turned away really touched me.
Alright here's for probably the 500th "this game changed me" comment you'll probably see in this section. I was in a really dull, dark part of my life when I got into Persona. I was a hopeless shut-in. I was uncomfortable when it was only me and one other person in a room, and the most I could add into conversations was by becoming nothing more than an echo chamber. I preferred a life alone, away from everyone else. It sucked. I didn't trust anyone. Everytime I would mess something up it would just add to a tower of worries in my head until it would all eventually burst. At one point I honestly could not see a reason to keep going in this dull, boring world. But this game. This amazing fucking game said "yeah no open your eyes and take a better look at the world around you". At first I was using Persona to escape what I considered a miserable existence. Instead, it told me to give it another shot. This game, with it's story and characters, taught me that something new can arise everyday. Before I knew it, I had begun to want to go outside. I _wanted_ to see my friends, go places, and pull some crazy shit together to laugh about it later on. Most importantly it showed me, and this is gonna sound really fucking corny, that you do not need to be perfect for people to like you. All the troubles that I had in my head were nothing more than a stupid reality my mind created. I could appreciate people, and I realized I had people that appreciated me. In a way, this game helped _me_ face my true self and reach for the truth. That was some 2(?) years ago. Since then, I've made plenty more friends, gone out every other day, even trust someone so much that I fell for them. I'm glad I got to play Persona 4, that I got to see what reason there was to live. I hope anyone who faces a similar situation as me is able to reach a similar conclusion. Anyways, it's midnight, I've had this song on loop for like the half hour it took to write this, and I've had tears in my eyes the entire time. *Bless* this game. Goodnight weebs
Sebastian Rivas nicest thing I’ve read in a while my man. Persona 3 also changed me in one way or another. Glad to hear your life turned around for the better, not a lot of people are able to do that, especially without the help from people around you. Stay well man
man are you me?? like you described me perfectly... right now im only 18 but i feel nothing, i don’t have a reason to live; i do have friends, but i feel so lonely and i wanna be like that always. this game is my ray of sunshine and the ONLY thing that makes me happy during this time of my life ;)
just finished Persona 4 today, Teared up when I saw the gang chased the train as I returned back to the city, I wish I could experience the game for the first time again
160 hours is how long it took me to beat Persona 4 and get the perfect ending I loved every second of it,The game changed my outlook on life and made me see that its not about the good and the bad about you or what you can fix about yourself,Its about being true to yourself,There is only one you and you have to love every part of yourself.Thank you Persona 4 and everyone who helped make it you helped me more than words can explain.
When I was in middle school I was in a close group of friends. Back then, I didn’t even realize how lucky I was that I had such good friends I could count on. I remember fondly playing in Xbox live parties with them, watching movies with them, hanging out at their houses. It hurts me that I’m not friends with them anymore. I didn’t even realize when the good times were, even though they were right in front of me
Finished this game for the first time ever and I can’t even begin to say how dear to me this experience was. I know I’m years late but it doesn’t really matter to me, this game and it’s characters have had such a huge impact on me. The overall message was so amazing. Thank you atlus! :’) until the next persona game!
I was bullied very heavily in school...this game...it gave me so much more than fun. Rise, Chie, Yukiko , Kanji, Teddy.... they gave me so much more . Accept my myself, my dreams and most importantly....my flaws. Mistakes, edges, they do not make us weak, they distinguish us from our shadows,they make us human. Persona 4 hepled me through so much pain. This song is a bittersweet memory. On the one Hand it showed me all the accomplishments I did with my companions....on the other hand, it proclaims that there will never be another story with my friends I gathered...never more. But I was able to carry on in my own life, to appreciate my friends, to face the struggles ahead of mine....thank you Persona 4, you helped me through so much pain....I will always be thankful for this. ❤️
This song reminds me that my two best friends that are the only people that make me feel like i belong are moving away. But it also reminds me that ill be okay. I love Persona so much and, even though so many people say this all the time, it changed me. It continues to.
Persona 4 is the most beautiful piece of media I have experienced in my life. Thank you Atlus for creating this game and chaging my life for the better.
Today my best friend of 10 years is leaving to the other end of the country. This song hurts, but helps at the same time. Zach, if you're here, god's blessings to you man. You're gonna do great.
I feel like this song makes most of us sad for more than one reason other than just the game, subconsciously or not. The lyrics remind me of people left behind, for some reason or other, and you might never see them again. You'd like to think that they'll always hold memories of the two of you close, and that's what most of us wish for. For people not to forget us.
While P5R and P3's ending themes are pretty sad, I really enjoy how this one takes a more positive approach. Yeah your journey is over, you've fought, cried, laughed and made plenty of memories but it doesn't mean that life won't go on. You'll look back and appreciate what you went through in the game, just as you would with real life. That's the beauty of it, the game is over but your life isn't. You're not alone to go about your days. The connections you make, the people you make memories with live on. This game is a favorite of mine, it made me think about this is all in a short 7 minute song lol. Truly a remarkable experience.
I'm almost a decade late but this reading the comments while listening to this was so heartwarming. Reminiscing the past while listening to this kind of music kind of gets you into that nostalgic mood where you'd smile wistfully to yourself, indulging into the old memories. The comments allow you to tap into a bit of their lives, and you'll be filled with a feeling of warmth and fuzziness after the video ends.
This game is so special to me, it made me feel accepted as a human. I live in a post sovietic country surounded by mindless close minded people that judge you based on everything they think is wrong. All my life i never got a friend who i can actually talk to diverse conversation on different topics, changing ideeas or just understand eachother and this made me feel a lot as an outsider. I also suffer from Pure OCD, a condition in witch i have different themes of intrusive thoughts based on absurd things and as you can see people look at me as a madman if i try to explain it "just don't think bro" i'm also asexual and i never opened to anyone outside my familly who is thankfully a tad bit open minded, all of this made me to luck up in miselff and getting really lost in "what am i supposed to do" but then i found out about this game through a soundtrack on a guy's video and i can fully say this game changed my life. It made me feel accepted for who i am by the friends from the game and gave me the feeling of what is like to just enjoy your life. My favorite character was Kanji, i loved his ideea of what is like to be a man, to do what you enjoy and be pround about it even if others would find it weird, i understanded also his anger of not having a guiding figure to teach you the ropes of life and how to act, it gave me the feeling of a fater figure because i didn't had one myself, my dad was bussy working oversees when i was young and never teached me different stuff. Thank you Persona, i will always cheerish this series as the one that helped me go trough a crisis of understanding not only the world but myself, because in the end doing what makes you happy will keep you motivated to go trough this hell called modern society.
Thank you for posting this song.. I’ve recently moved and saying goodbye to so many people who I loved so much was so hard, but hearing this song really helps me get these emotions out of my mind helps me focus on the new life I have, seriously man, thank you, your a life saver
I never knew what I was missing until I played Persona 4. One of the best games I have ever played hands down. I love everything about the game. But now that I beat it I'm so sad... I hope P3FES can satisfy. And can't wait for P5.
I'm 8 years late... but I'm here... I'm finally here. It was like a dream come true when the PC version released. This game has been nothing but laugh and tears for me. It's one of those games that make you wish you could experience a first playthrough over and over again. What a fucking masterpiece.
The last bit of the prologue felt like a very fitting end for this game. Just Yu smiling as he realizes that this is where he belongs, with his friends.
Also, this game was so good that when I missed the true ending in my first playthrough (my dumbass didn't bother to max Marie's SL), I was fully willing to replay the game from the start just to see the true ending. I avoided many spoilers and when I got to see the true ending, I was so happy.
I have to thank the absolutely random person who I didn’t even know who gifted me persona 4 golden, I could have never experienced this game without them giving it to me; so thank you random stranger
your comment is the one i most relate to on a personal level, seeing the credits and hearing this song made me stand and clap i said thank you to all the staff that worked on such an amazing game, and after it was over, all I could feel was pure sadness I just sat in my chair with a sad face the whole time then the game played shadow world and I went back to smiling, I closed the game knowing that it was my favorite of all time and I haven't touched it since, but I cant wait for the time when I sit down and experience it all over again
Summer of 2009, school is vastly approaching, my room is super hot and only have a broken fan blowing wind... and i was busy finishing this game which took a good junk of my summer to do. Literally finished this around 3am and cried as soon as the credits starting rolling. Now im almost 30 and waves of nostalgia is hitting me just listening to this
Persona 4 captures what it would have been like to be a teenager in 2008, something I’ll never get to experience but wanted to experience it so badly. Persona 4 gave me that opportunity. It gave me friends that I’ve never had before. I am like Yu in many ways. I am a leader in my own right. I truly can connect with him, I believe destiny has brought us to this crossroad. I feel much stronger mentally after playing, although emotionally weaker. I can always return to Inaba at any time to spend time with them, and this assured me that their journey will never end. I like to imagine that Yu ends up with whoever the player chooses at the end of persona 4. The difference between 2008 and now well, people still had personality then, they’re all just mindless robots now who stare and do whatever other people want them to. Yu and his crew would never stand for this, they seek justice and so do I. The tv world in this world is like a computer, when people sit in front of it they change. It’s like I have my own persona when I sit in front of one. We wield incredible power, just as Yu does in the shadow world. I love all the characters, and I’d save all of them even if I wasn’t their friend. If it meant justice, it would happen. Though I’d be much more protective of the girls of the group. I’d always want them to stand behind me so I could take a hit for them. Not that they’re not strong, but I was taught chivalry and that’s why I’d do it. I have the detective intuition, Dojima is like me as a grown up, Yu is like me as a young teen. This combined with the hero aspect, the social link aspect, and the fact it’s an older game where people have personality is what made this game a perfect game for me to relate to. Should I record gameplay of this and voice it over with my own dialogue a bit for Yu? What do you guys think? I only own a PS2 and the original game, and I’d need to do in June, but I could.
Persona 4 just...has such a nostalgic feeling. Every time I hear Yosuke's voice, it's like hearing an old friend again. It's like remembering summer...God I love this game
"No matter how far apart we may be, we've made a connection that will tie us down together. Our hearts are linked to the people we know we can trust. And that trust gives us the strength to go out there and find true self. As long as you stay true to who you really are, you'll always have one of us by your side. none of us will ever be alone, no matter what world we're in. We're all connected" - Teddie
While playing persona game, such as P3, P4, or even P5 you can truly feel the bonds that you as the player create with all the characters and that's the beauty of persona games. That's also why a persona game will forever hold a special place in our hearts
i just started highschool and after playing this game i look at everyone differently. i know nobody at my school despite being in the same district and sometimes same grade schools for years. it feels like i'll never get a yosuke or a yukiko, a rise or a chie, a kanji or a naoto. it hurts a lot not feeling accepted. the closest i've gotten is drama club but even then i still feel out of the loop. i just wish i could get the feeling of small town inaba happiness like i felt playing this game.
06/10/19 The day I first beat the game. What a journey this was, I had a wonderful time. I loved EVERYTHING about the game, the characters, the music, the gameplay, the story, everything. When I reached the end, I was in tears and was also happy. I was happy that I saved the world, but was sad that the journey ended and that I've never get to experience it for the first time ever again. In the end though, I loved every second of it, and couldn't help but smile that I got to play through an utter masterpiece of a game. Thank you ATLUS, thank you Yosuke for being my bro till the end, thank you Chie for making me laugh with your spunky attitude, thank you Yukiko for saving me from whenever I was in danger, thank you Kanji for showing me to never judge a book by its' cover, thank you Rise for your loving support and care, thank you Naoto for showing me to be happy with who you are and to never change just because others don't like you, thank you Teddie for teaching me to try new things and for all the bear puns, thank you Dojima for teaching me how to be a good father (For the future), thank you Nanako for being such a precious angel and how to be a good brother. Finally, thank you Mom and Dad for sending me on this Earth to experince such beautiful things like this Masterpiece of a game. I'll never forget this journey for the rest of my life. Thank you : )

You can never recreate or experience the feeling of playing this game for the first time
yeah man it really sucks.
I consider this to be my most favorite game of all time.
an experience unlike another
yeah, nothing hits you harder than saying goodbye to your firends at the end of this game
I would seriously get myself an amnesia if I could, just to play this game blindly again.
Honestly it's why I show it off to my friends.... good portion of my friend like watching more than playing (I blame Let's Plays) and I show the entire story to them and let them make some choices... watching their reaction is the closest you can get.
I'd do anything to play this for the first time again ;-;
i got really sad when I completed this game. And it wasn't just the ending or the music. It was the fact that I would never play Persona 4 for the first time again.
I know that feeling...
jaidon82 exactly what I'm feeling right now...
Playing P3 to get caught up to the rest of the fanhood.
Then gonna New Game Plus the shit out of P4 and appreciate it more, hopefully. Cause it'll also be a jump from P3 in gameplay and character development.
Not taking away from P3 though. Gonna let myself enjoy it :)
jaidon82 but you'll always have Persona 4 danshingarunighto
+Jaidon White me too :'( i'm sad it ends
+Jaidon White I remember that February month when I bought this game. Once it was done downloading off PSN, that intro captivated me. It captivated me so much that I stopped talking to my friend on my phone. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. After the intro ended, I knew I was in for a good time. I do not regret the 60+ hrs of gameplay on this game.
Playing persona 4 is like experiencing the best high school life that you never had.
Agreed. For me second year was a hell due to bullying.
@@bernardoheusi6146 i've been sort of bullied for 6 years, but right now i have my friends for life for around 10 years and quite famous in my workplace. Hang in there my friend it's just only a phase
@@bernardoheusi6146 mine was 2nd year junior high, got through it though. High school was fun although far from colourful like this game lol.
I loved my high school years. I peak during my Junior year but Senior Year was great. I admit that I was a bully and quite arrogant. I played the PS2 version in college right before I got kicked out but I finished the Vita version a few years later and made me remember my high school memories. Good times.
High school sucks for me. When I played P4G, it made me feel loved for the first time in my life. I could never get through what I did without it.
By the end of this game, I felt as though the characters were real friends.

I see people reminiscing about feeling empty and not being able to experience this for the first time ever again.
The song knows this and tells you that youre never going to be alone.
So cheer up guys, we may not experience it ever again for the first time. But we experienced it nonetheless, and loved it.
Just finished the game for the first time yesterday, and this was what I had to say.
This is a beautiful way to put it
Yup, I agree.
When I played the Original i can't stop crying but after finished Persona 4 Golden all that crying in turns to a feeling of happyness that it can't be mension.

3:40 That part that sounds like the menu theme always makes me shed a tear.
That's actually a pretty smart move on their part. They ingratiate that part of the song to us with A Corner of Memories, letting us listen to the leitmotif when we first booted up the game (first impression), then each time we came back to load our save (which would be A LOT of times, I remember clocking in at 200+ hours in my first playthrough alone). Then we hopefully get our sweet ending, start getting emotional during the credits, probably crying like a bitch, when suddenly... 03:40 Boom.

@@Seven69297i somehow beaten Persona 4 like 3 times and beating it every single time feels so satisfying too.
More than a year ago now, I left the town I grew up in to work as a teacher in a low-income area. I worked with an incredible and diverse group of people, and became so close to one woman that it became very hard to leave. But in my final few days in the town, I remembered this song and let it comfort me. I knew, just like Yu does, that the effort I put in and the bonds I formed would never leave and have made me a better person. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Persona changes lives.
Deep stuff.
It's funny people may think it's just this weird series about creating demons and shit but I actuality it's just about learning to make friends with people and finding bonds that will never break
I got into this game right after a nasty breakup. Turns out it was exactly what I needed to put myself together again and reconnect with the world.
Dude you were a persona protagonist
you blessed soul!!!

I felt so empty when I finished this beautiful game. I didn't have any friends, so this game really made me feel like someone else, I grew so close to everyone of the characters, we did so much together, we laughed, we solved the mistery and we defeated a God... But in the end I had to say goodbye to everyone, it was truly sad, but in the end this game helped me so much. It was an experience that can never be recreated.
Befriend people that like anime. They usually like Persona-series aswell
João Aguiar ur right
João Aguiar Same, this game does a great job motivating people and gives hope into making new friends, and holy shit, my eyes were filling with tears
I feel the same. Everyone did have sort of a realness to them. Oddly, despite living hundreds of miles from Japan, even the most unfamiliar situations and interactions in Inaba felt relatable (as unrealistic as they could be at times). I feel like I've gained a great deal of confidence playing this game. It's truly an experience can never be recreated. Well said!
I myself didn't have friends when I played this... and the story is all about friendship and being there for them.. WHYYYY
worst part of a good game is that it ends
It was fun while it lasted - Yusuke Kitagawa (Persona 5)
The best part of the worst games are when THEY end.
@Ultimately Mad Gamer If I was saying that, I would get R I N S E D.

Exactly. :'(
That ending made you cry if you were not already crying from the train scene with everyone saying goodbye and to never forget. One of the most non forgettable ending ever, this game will always have a special part in my heart
I was crying :D
solidkratos963 I think what really makes it so sad yet so perfect is that the game really immerses the idea that you the player are the main protagonist, so when you stop playing the game, your not going to see those friends any more, so naturally the main protagonist moves away. Really made me sad, and makes the memories of said game feel great.
yes i think so, you are totaly right.
When I remember the game I don't remember a game I remember when I went to high school with Yoske Chie Kanji Rise and the others and fought monsters like a badass...
Never have i ever cried at a video game. before getting to around november(?) in this game.

I don't care if this game is overrated or that it was milked for several years, this game made me feel like I wasn't alone during a time a really needed it to. It will always hold a special place in my heart

I never cry, I haven't cried in probably a decade, but my best friend, he used to cry at the end of every game/movie/anime he really liked and didn't hide it, so I started being secretly jealous because I never had such a special moment in any of these mediums that made me cry even if I wanted, but man, this game made me do it the whole end credits sequence without stopping, it felt so refreshing, it was a feeling I forgot and I imediatly called sobbing to tell him how great this game was!
Same here ^^ It feels great to actually be able to cry to such a masterpiece
I feel ya
When I beat any other game: * happy *
beating any persona: * empty *
It has been about a year and a half since I completed this game. Since then, I have played other Persona games and come to really enjoy the series. I even plan to get into Shin Megami Tensei as a whole soon. Recently, a friend of mine beat Persona 5(which I did around when i beat P4), and I told him he should get Persona 4. He did, and I sat right next to him for the entire playthrough, and when the credits were rolling, I was sad that the story ended again, but also incredibly happy that my best friend was also able to have the same experience I had. It gave me a chance to reflect on my playthrough on Persona 4 Golden(he was playing PS2 version), and although it was interesting to see things such as version differences, watching him do the social links, combat, and dungeons really made me appreciate how great of a game it really is, and the fact that I was able to share this wonderful game with him increased my enjoyment of the game as well. I have beat Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5, and i'm currently working on Persona 2: Innocent Sin. I am soon getting Persona Q and Persona Q2, as well as Persona 3 FES, Persona 1(PSP version) Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and I just can't wait to finally learn what happens after Persona 4, and see The Answer in Persona 3 FES, and try the original(and actually beat it at some point). Persona is a series that truly fulfills you, a series that makes you feel real emotion, and a series that has changed the lives of many. Persona is the one thing I like that, no matter what other thing I'm currently enjoying, is always in the back of my mind. It is an unforgettable experience, one that changes your outlook on life, and teaches you an important lesson. Persona 3 teaches you to live your life to the fullest, to not deny the inevitable, and that a relationship is always worth it, no matter how much it will hurt when it ends. Persona 4 teaches you to always seek the truth, no matter how sweet of a lie there may be. Persona 5 teaches you to think for yourself and fight for what you believe in, that a higher power isn't always correct or just, and that you have a right to rebel when something truly unjust is taking place. Persona 2 teaches you to accept change, and that no matter how tough things get when you're older, you can persevere, and you have people to support you, and it also teaches you to use the past as a guide for the future, and not to deny it or be caught up on it, to move on and keep going. Each Persona game is a profound experience, and you will always take something away from them. I really wish i hadn't written this in the comments of a music video from 7 and a half years ago, but hearing the credits song just reminded me of how much I've grown to love the series and the emotions it stirs up when I think about my experiences with each one. Every time I hear Igor say "You were truly a remarkable guest", no matter which game it's in, I feel as though I have completed a long journey, one with many hardships, paths, and bonds, and I have reached that journey's end. So, to the person reading this, whether you are just listening to the video for the song, a casual Persona fan, or a grizzled Shin Megami Tensei veteran, just go and play Persona, any game, or think about a past journey with it. I believe I have learned lessons that I will remember my entire life from theses games, and I believe that every person can learn something from these games. I just can't think of a good way to express my thoughts any longer without repeating myself, so just remember this: Cherish your experience with this series, take its messages and themes to heart, and love your time with these experiences that are beyond gaming or storytelling.
I can't believe I just wrote this at 1:00 am in the UA-cam comments section, it's kind of disappointing. I didn't plan this, I just said what i thought.
Time well spent!
*Your expression has increased
Deep
You basically summed up the whole persona franchise here, and in a meaningful and beautiful way. Your comment made me tear up, wow.
This is an incredible and inspiring comment, I have never played a persona game but I've always been interested, however without a PlayStation console and limited budget it felt like getting into this series was impossible for me. However, since Persona 4 the Animation exists I watched and finished it this week. But now i kinda regret it because i wish i had played the game. Probably/ Eventually i will get to play a persona game and really feel apart of the fan base.
UNDERRATED COMMENT. God bless you.
You know when a game like this is good when you cry out of mixed feelings of happiness and sadness during and after the game.
Any game that makes you cry out a bittersweet feeling it's a masterpiece

What an experience Persona 4 was.
a fucking amazing game from begining to end. man it made me feel all sort of emotions !
I had issues with Persona 3 and 5. It felt like every character had a great relationship with the mc, but not with each other. Persona 4’s Investigation Team feels like a real group of friends, cracking jokes with each other and being open about their feelings. That’s what elevates this game to being my favorite in the series.
Haven't played P4 so can't say, but in P5 I would say Mona had a good relationship with other characters. But now that I think about it, don't really remember anyone else really.
Nah Junpei and yukari have a lot of rivalry, mitsuru Shinjiro and akihiko have a lot of history, ken has his grudges against shinjiro, akihiko wants to help ken out and keep him motivated after October, Aigis has a strong devotion to protag and gets in lots of trouble with yukari and others with her misunderstandings about humans. It’s really just the p5 cast, does yusuke even talk to Haru once? Seriously hard to remember a single one-on-one interaction between the Phantom Thieves outside of the founding members.
@@MAS45 i have it on steam already
@@kay9ine175
_Play it_
Okay, Strikers
5:13 This part always makes me cry. The happier melody contrasts with the slow, quieter, and melodic harmony underneath. It reminds me of the song's theme of friendship ending and moving away from your friends at the end of Persona. You're happy about the fun times you had, but there's always that sad undertone. That happiness is the melody, while the harmony is that lurking sadness.
Persona 4 will forever be the best
Same here, and I find Yu to be a more engaging and interesting protagonist than Minato/Makoto. I just adore Yu's personality in the Animation and the spin-off games.
naruto0187 saying that Yu is a more interesting protagonist than Minato is like saying that watching ice melt is more interesting than watching paint dry.
ouch
watch the movies
Yu is really fabulous tho. And he has swag.
Man. Whenever I listen to this I thing back to that cold night in March, at 3 in the morning. I stayed up all night to finish Persona 4, and when I heard these credits I looked back on an incredible journey.
This game is perfection.
As much as I love it, the 3 hour opening was a pain and in my opinion, most of this game was just slightly worse than P3, although both are still amazing games.
It felt a lot less grindy than p3, and the characters were less generic. P4 had a lot more interesting characters, not just "waifu with a hidden past" or "smart rich waifu". The characters were dynamic and more interesting. Both fantastic games :)
Yeah, although I prefer P3's story over P4 I gotta admit the characters were better done.
Seriously me too I beat ameno sagiri and spent the rest of the day and most of the night finishing it so touching
Ameno Sagiri isn't the final boss tho...

+tim tom True.
Definitely 1 of the best games ever created.
correction the best game
Best on Vita definitely
I've heard people complain that this game is too happy and cheerful. While I do find the game very uplifting, especially compared to the other Persona games, I don't see how that is a bad thing. I personally think it is rather refreshing.
Especially since when you are playing sleuth with your buds throughout this game, the message about the power of bonds and being true to yourself doesn't ring hollow.
Makes for a nice break from its predecessor in terms of the general tone.
I don't think a game being happy/sad really defines how good the game is. It's about the emotion it brings during the game which p4 does bring alot.
@@flamehiro your comment is a year old but I have to say that I agree so much with you
People like to focus on negative things. Some believe that in order for a story or message to be good it must be dark, sad or serious. Which is not true
I was trying to fo my homework while listening to this song, but then I accidentally spilled water on my eyes and had to stop...
I wouldnt be crying...
I would be singing along with the song!
(ps yes i memorized part of the song... plz dont judge!)
(pps its a good song, dont you think so, whats-ur-face?...)
How can you spill water on your- WAIT A MINUTE!
I have been watching this for eight years now and I just noticed that Yosuke is holding a trial of the dragon two DVD case with a broken DVD falling out.
The song that naturally brings a tear to your eye.
The way Meguro uses the same notes of the credits songs throughout the game's soundtrack is what makes you so emotional in the credits. You've been hearing the same melody through the hole game and when the credits plays, it gives you a sense of familiarity to the song even though you're listening it for the first time, while making you remember everything you've been through in the last 60 hours
Christ, I don't think a single game has made me tear up at tracks more than P4, every time I return to Inaba and hear "Heartbeat, Heartbreak" I tear up, every time I hear "I'll Face Myself" I tear up. But this fucking song, is in an emotional league of it's own, not only is it then end of an adventure, it's the end of your first experience with the game, and the first play through of a game is a magical thing in of itself, as it's something you genuinely can never have again, once you've played it, you can't get the same feeling as the first time you experienced it again, which is the sad part of this song at least the first time you hear it. But the fact you had a game engage you and make you so invested and interested and gave you the experience you did, thats what's so great. Thus this song is not just a sad song, but also, a triumphant one, one that makes you reflect on the amazing game that you just played. Or you can just play NG+ for the rest of your life, that's always an option.
You know it's good when your smiling despite looking as though someone chopped onions right in front of your eyes.
I don’t know why, but P4 makes me cry the hardest out of the 3 big Persona games.
Like, not 3, but 4. I guess it’s because you see your friends chasing after you, crying and saying we’ll always be friends! Ugh, it just tugs at my heart strings.
Because P4 ending is actually relatable and can be happening IRL, unlike P3 where the protagonist is basically a messiah which is unlikely to happen on our everyday life. I haven't played p5r so I don't have anything to say about it
@@homepotatoe4401 I guess so. I mean, I never moved to another place, lol. Makoto dying and seeing Aigis become more human, shedding a tear for you hits hard. Not to mention Kimi No Kioku is a beautiful fucking song. P5R’s ending IS good, but it doesn’t hit hard compared to the vanilla ending. And even then, Vanilla P5’s ending isn’t TOO heartbreaking. Just sad to finish the game lol.

January 4th, 2020. I beat probably what will be my favorite game of all time. My brother was letting me borrow his PS2 and I had until that day to beat it. I had spent countless sleepless nights over the past days to finally beat this game before the 4th. When the credits finally rolled, I felt so complete and empty at the same time. It was beautiful.
This isn't just a game, it's an experience.
Dedede is Dosh I just finished it yesterday and I know the exact same feeling you’re describing.
This is not an experience... This is life
Also, when you own a PC, buy Persona 4 Golden and re-experience the moment with additional storyline, new Personas, new music by Shoji Meguro, a new character, and new areas to explore!
@@mirza2698 I already am
I think I might be crying like a baby when I have beaten the game soon, because as of right now I cannot accept the fact that this game will come to an end :(
me 2 :(
+Ryotaro Dojima I cried for a good 5 mins at the end.
Same for me with this and Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World
your need to accept your shadow lol
And after so long...I have finally beaten the game for the first time. Can't explain the feels for this amazing game. Persona 4 just needs to never go away and stay forever.
+Wilson Quon I second this.
I love this game, just like Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World, it inspired and changed me. Yosuke's quote on nothing changing if we blamed others and turned away really touched me.
Alright here's for probably the 500th "this game changed me" comment you'll probably see in this section.
I was in a really dull, dark part of my life when I got into Persona. I was a hopeless shut-in. I was uncomfortable when it was only me and one other person in a room, and the most I could add into conversations was by becoming nothing more than an echo chamber. I preferred a life alone, away from everyone else. It sucked. I didn't trust anyone. Everytime I would mess something up it would just add to a tower of worries in my head until it would all eventually burst. At one point I honestly could not see a reason to keep going in this dull, boring world.
But this game. This amazing fucking game said "yeah no open your eyes and take a better look at the world around you". At first I was using Persona to escape what I considered a miserable existence. Instead, it told me to give it another shot. This game, with it's story and characters, taught me that something new can arise everyday. Before I knew it, I had begun to want to go outside. I _wanted_ to see my friends, go places, and pull some crazy shit together to laugh about it later on.
Most importantly it showed me, and this is gonna sound really fucking corny, that you do not need to be perfect for people to like you. All the troubles that I had in my head were nothing more than a stupid reality my mind created. I could appreciate people, and I realized I had people that appreciated me. In a way, this game helped _me_ face my true self and reach for the truth.
That was some 2(?) years ago. Since then, I've made plenty more friends, gone out every other day, even trust someone so much that I fell for them. I'm glad I got to play Persona 4, that I got to see what reason there was to live. I hope anyone who faces a similar situation as me is able to reach a similar conclusion. Anyways, it's midnight, I've had this song on loop for like the half hour it took to write this, and I've had tears in my eyes the entire time. *Bless* this game. Goodnight weebs
Sebastian Rivas nicest thing I’ve read in a while my man. Persona 3 also changed me in one way or another. Glad to hear your life turned around for the better, not a lot of people are able to do that, especially without the help from people around you. Stay well man
this was really nice to read. as someone who's in nearly the same place as you were, this comment actually gave me hope
man are you me?? like you described me perfectly... right now im only 18 but i feel nothing, i don’t have a reason to live; i do have friends, but i feel so lonely and i wanna be like that always. this game is my ray of sunshine and the ONLY thing that makes me happy during this time of my life ;)
I'm in a similar place, I hope I recover like you did. Please take care.
Wow what a humongous loser you are
Man, every Persona ending theme really hits hard
just finished Persona 4 today, Teared up when I saw the gang chased the train as I returned back to the city, I wish I could experience the game for the first time again
160 hours is how long it took me to beat Persona 4 and get the perfect ending I loved every second of it,The game changed my outlook on life and made me see that its not about the good and the bad about you or what you can fix about yourself,Its about being true to yourself,There is only one you and you have to love every part of yourself.Thank you Persona 4 and everyone who helped make it you helped me more than words can explain.
Aya Kira omg same

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

This game legit makes me crying after i finish it for the first time. It just so beautiful
This song feels a lot sadder when you read the English lyrics
Right?! :')
Facts
When I was in middle school I was in a close group of friends. Back then, I didn’t even realize how lucky I was that I had such good friends I could count on. I remember fondly playing in Xbox live parties with them, watching movies with them, hanging out at their houses. It hurts me that I’m not friends with them anymore. I didn’t even realize when the good times were, even though they were right in front of me
Just learn to value and nurture any bonds you have now
You know Nanako didn't cry at the ending?
Well I did.
A lot.
Fuck you Persona 4.
I hate you.
*cries uncontrollably*
Lobo35508 feels
Lobo35508 did you play P3? it's a pain that never ends.
+Mai Heart Literally never ends
+Shocktoroc's Video Hole Been a few years now, the pains still there.
+Mai Heart Try persona 3 as a girl things get weird.
Finished this game for the first time ever and I can’t even begin to say how dear to me this experience was. I know I’m years late but it doesn’t really matter to me, this game and it’s characters have had such a huge impact on me. The overall message was so amazing. Thank you atlus! :’) until the next persona game!
Same. Persona 5 is next on the list! Enjoy!
I was bullied very heavily in school...this game...it gave me so much more than fun. Rise, Chie, Yukiko , Kanji, Teddy.... they gave me so much more . Accept my myself, my dreams and most importantly....my flaws. Mistakes, edges, they do not make us weak, they distinguish us from our shadows,they make us human. Persona 4 hepled me through so much pain. This song is a bittersweet memory. On the one Hand it showed me all the accomplishments I did with my companions....on the other hand, it proclaims that there will never be another story with my friends I gathered...never more.
But I was able to carry on in my own life, to appreciate my friends, to face the struggles ahead of mine....thank you Persona 4, you helped me through so much pain....I will always be thankful for this. ❤️
hey me toobud
No Naoto?
There is something special about the Persona 4 cast and they always have a special place in my heart
My favorite part of this specific upload of Never More is the low quality audio. I dont know why, but it really makes it feel more nostalgic.
This song reminds me that my two best friends that are the only people that make me feel like i belong are moving away. But it also reminds me that ill be okay. I love Persona so much and, even though so many people say this all the time, it changed me. It continues to.
何度聴いても良い曲。
Out of all things I've seen in terms of media, this is the first game to make me cry.
Persona 4 help me beat depression and will always hold a special place inside my heart.
Persona 4 is the most beautiful piece of media I have experienced in my life. Thank you Atlus for creating this game and chaging my life for the better.
I love how they incorporate A Corner Of Memories and I'll Face Myself into this song. It really feels like the perfect song to end your journey.
Today my best friend of 10 years is leaving to the other end of the country. This song hurts, but helps at the same time.
Zach, if you're here, god's blessings to you man. You're gonna do great.
I can't believe this song still makes me cry after like a decade.
I feel like this song makes most of us sad for more than one reason other than just the game, subconsciously or not. The lyrics remind me of people left behind, for some reason or other, and you might never see them again. You'd like to think that they'll always hold memories of the two of you close, and that's what most of us wish for. For people not to forget us.
oxDestroxo the only thing that make me sad is we cannot go back to the past to relive that moment again
サイコーすぎこの曲聴いただけで泣ける
While P5R and P3's ending themes are pretty sad, I really enjoy how this one takes a more positive approach. Yeah your journey is over, you've fought, cried, laughed and made plenty of memories but it doesn't mean that life won't go on. You'll look back and appreciate what you went through in the game, just as you would with real life. That's the beauty of it, the game is over but your life isn't. You're not alone to go about your days. The connections you make, the people you make memories with live on. This game is a favorite of mine, it made me think about this is all in a short 7 minute song lol. Truly a remarkable experience.
This game changed my life.
I get goosebumps every time I hear this.
I played this game only 5 months ago. Why is it already nostalgic?
This game character are no just characters, they are your friends
I'm almost a decade late but this reading the comments while listening to this was so heartwarming. Reminiscing the past while listening to this kind of music kind of gets you into that nostalgic mood where you'd smile wistfully to yourself, indulging into the old memories. The comments allow you to tap into a bit of their lives, and you'll be filled with a feeling of warmth and fuzziness after the video ends.
Atlus I'm always thankful with you for giving us this masterpieces
This game is so special to me, it made me feel accepted as a human. I live in a post sovietic country surounded by mindless close minded people that judge you based on everything they think is wrong. All my life i never got a friend who i can actually talk to diverse conversation on different topics, changing ideeas or just understand eachother and this made me feel a lot as an outsider. I also suffer from Pure OCD, a condition in witch i have different themes of intrusive thoughts based on absurd things and as you can see people look at me as a madman if i try to explain it "just don't think bro" i'm also asexual and i never opened to anyone outside my familly who is thankfully a tad bit open minded, all of this made me to luck up in miselff and getting really lost in "what am i supposed to do" but then i found out about this game through a soundtrack on a guy's video and i can fully say this game changed my life. It made me feel accepted for who i am by the friends from the game and gave me the feeling of what is like to just enjoy your life. My favorite character was Kanji, i loved his ideea of what is like to be a man, to do what you enjoy and be pround about it even if others would find it weird, i understanded also his anger of not having a guiding figure to teach you the ropes of life and how to act, it gave me the feeling of a fater figure because i didn't had one myself, my dad was bussy working oversees when i was young and never teached me different stuff. Thank you Persona, i will always cheerish this series as the one that helped me go trough a crisis of understanding not only the world but myself, because in the end doing what makes you happy will keep you motivated to go trough this hell called modern society.
3:40 really hits the feels after many times of hearing this when starting up the game
It's so over. I feel so empty
this made me burst out into tears so hard, i already was crying once the train scene began, but this flooded the teargates
Thank you for posting this song.. I’ve recently moved and saying goodbye to so many people who I loved so much was so hard, but hearing this song really helps me get these emotions out of my mind helps me focus on the new life I have, seriously man, thank you, your a life saver
5:33 When she says "I'll find the precious things I lost" I almost cry here what a beautiful Writing
This song made me cry, for fuck's sake Persona 4's ending just killed me
I never knew what I was missing until I played Persona 4. One of the best games I have ever played hands down. I love everything about the game. But now that I beat it I'm so sad...
I hope P3FES can satisfy. And can't wait for P5.
You feel sad because you finished P4 and now you're hoping P3FES can satisfy?
Well sir, you're gonna have a bad time...
Yeah well I did finish P3FES and can I tell you that I now know understand why P3 is better.
besides it being so dark
Emblemblazed coop Lps haven't finished p3 yet but I'm loving it. It's a Lil harder to play than p4g but that's fine
James Turner yeah it can get like that but really all you need is acess to Fusion Spells and you can do SO MUCH damage!
I'm 8 years late... but I'm here... I'm finally here. It was like a dream come true when the PC version released. This game has been nothing but laugh and tears for me. It's one of those games that make you wish you could experience a first playthrough over and over again. What a fucking masterpiece.
Played it for the first time last year. Definitely a throwback to late 00's mystery animes, especially the top-notch voice acting.
What an adventure.
The last bit of the prologue felt like a very fitting end for this game. Just Yu smiling as he realizes that this is where he belongs, with his friends.
Also, this game was so good that when I missed the true ending in my first playthrough (my dumbass didn't bother to max Marie's SL), I was fully willing to replay the game from the start just to see the true ending. I avoided many spoilers and when I got to see the true ending, I was so happy.
I have to thank the absolutely random person who I didn’t even know who gifted me persona 4 golden, I could have never experienced this game without them giving it to me; so thank you random stranger
My sentence at the start of Persona 4: "Man, what a dump of town we ended up."
My sentence at the end: "I don't wanna leave this place ever!"
:(
:) Atleast we have the memories we made throughout the journey
your comment is the one i most relate to on a personal level, seeing the credits and hearing this song made me stand and clap i said thank you to all the staff that worked on such an amazing game, and after it was over, all I could feel was pure sadness I just sat in my chair with a sad face the whole time then the game played shadow world and I went back to smiling, I closed the game knowing that it was my favorite of all time and I haven't touched it since, but I cant wait for the time when I sit down and experience it all over again
Wtf you’re into persona, i thought you were into cartoons and shit. Nice.
I didn't expect you in the comments lol
I just finished this game with a golden ending, man... it was so beautiful I couldn't stop crying for a while.
I fucking cried like a baby, and I loved that feeling
Summer of 2009, school is vastly approaching, my room is super hot and only have a broken fan blowing wind... and i was busy finishing this game which took a good junk of my summer to do. Literally finished this around 3am and cried as soon as the credits starting rolling.
Now im almost 30 and waves of nostalgia is hitting me just listening to this
And that settles it... I will be re-playing Persona 3 and P4G on NG+ for the first time this summer.

I'm struggling to get through P1 right now. P2 is still on my list :D
Persona 4 captures what it would have been like to be a teenager in 2008, something I’ll never get to experience but wanted to experience it so badly. Persona 4 gave me that opportunity. It gave me friends that I’ve never had before. I am like Yu in many ways. I am a leader in my own right. I truly can connect with him, I believe destiny has brought us to this crossroad. I feel much stronger mentally after playing, although emotionally weaker. I can always return to Inaba at any time to spend time with them, and this assured me that their journey will never end. I like to imagine that Yu ends up with whoever the player chooses at the end of persona 4. The difference between 2008 and now well, people still had personality then, they’re all just mindless robots now who stare and do whatever other people want them to. Yu and his crew would never stand for this, they seek justice and so do I. The tv world in this world is like a computer, when people sit in front of it they change. It’s like I have my own persona when I sit in front of one. We wield incredible power, just as Yu does in the shadow world. I love all the characters, and I’d save all of them even if I wasn’t their friend. If it meant justice, it would happen. Though I’d be much more protective of the girls of the group. I’d always want them to stand behind me so I could take a hit for them. Not that they’re not strong, but I was taught chivalry and that’s why I’d do it. I have the detective intuition, Dojima is like me as a grown up, Yu is like me as a young teen. This combined with the hero aspect, the social link aspect, and the fact it’s an older game where people have personality is what made this game a perfect game for me to relate to.
Should I record gameplay of this and voice it over with my own dialogue a bit for Yu? What do you guys think? I only own a PS2 and the original game, and I’d need to do in June, but I could.
do it! i'd love to hear it, if you're still thinking about it
@@flameindigo8035 I did it actually, it's somewhere on my channel.
@@flameindigo8035 I mostly focus on challenges now, like soloing Persona 3 the Answer.
Persona 4 just...has such a nostalgic feeling.
Every time I hear Yosuke's voice, it's like hearing an old friend again.
It's like remembering summer...God I love this game
"No matter how far apart we may be, we've made a connection that will tie us down together. Our hearts are linked to the people we know we can trust.
And that trust gives us the strength to go out there and find true self. As long as you stay true to who you really are, you'll always have one of us by your side.
none of us will ever be alone, no matter what world we're in. We're all connected" - Teddie
While playing persona game, such as P3, P4, or even P5 you can truly feel the bonds that you as the player create with all the characters and that's the beauty of persona games. That's also why a persona game will forever hold a special place in our hearts
Best game, best game play, best characters, best story, made me cry every social links and the main plot. Hands down, best Persona game ever.
i just started highschool and after playing this game i look at everyone differently. i know nobody at my school despite being in the same district and sometimes same grade schools for years. it feels like i'll never get a yosuke or a yukiko, a rise or a chie, a kanji or a naoto. it hurts a lot not feeling accepted. the closest i've gotten is drama club but even then i still feel out of the loop. i just wish i could get the feeling of small town inaba happiness like i felt playing this game.
I've played 3, 4 and 5. 4 will forever be my favourite. The cast, the music and the story is just my favourite and makes me so happy 🥰
06/10/19 The day I first beat the game. What a journey this was, I had a wonderful time. I loved EVERYTHING about the game, the characters, the music, the gameplay, the story, everything. When I reached the end, I was in tears and was also happy. I was happy that I saved the world, but was sad that the journey ended and that I've never get to experience it for the first time ever again. In the end though, I loved every second of it, and couldn't help but smile that I got to play through an utter masterpiece of a game. Thank you ATLUS, thank you Yosuke for being my bro till the end, thank you Chie for making me laugh with your spunky attitude, thank you Yukiko for saving me from whenever I was in danger, thank you Kanji for showing me to never judge a book by its' cover, thank you Rise for your loving support and care, thank you Naoto for showing me to be happy with who you are and to never change just because others don't like you, thank you Teddie for teaching me to try new things and for all the bear puns, thank you Dojima for teaching me how to be a good father (For the future), thank you Nanako for being such a precious angel and how to be a good brother. Finally, thank you Mom and Dad for sending me on this Earth to experince such beautiful things like this Masterpiece of a game. I'll never forget this journey for the rest of my life.
Thank you : )
today is 3/21/22, exactly 10 years after Yu left Inaba.
